Tinglado 2 (València)

Europe, Spain, Valancia, La Marina de València, Tinglado 2(slightly cut)

 

Captured here is one of the Tinglado 2 warehouses, in the typical combinaton of iron/glass architecture and decoration that’s typical for the Modernista (Art Nouveau) style. The warehouses were created during the time of the expanding international markets at the beginning of the 20th century. Local rice, cereals and wine of the region (La Huerta) needed logistical facilities.

Somewhere in the 80s, due to containerization of freight the warehouses lost their function like in all the major Western harbor towns. And are being renovated now. Their new function wil be recreational and commercial.
